Terrible mix translation...beginner monitors?
I have been mixing on a decent Logitech 2.1 system. I know, I know that is not real practical, so I have decided to get a decent set of entry level studio monitors. I am only on a $300 dollar budget so my choices are very limited. Also, I do not have any local music shops so I cannot go demo speakers so I am really relying on online reviews and forums.
How would I mix a rhthym guitar and a solo?
Hi all!
I'm very new to recording. I want to know how to mix a rhythm guitar and a solo together? Do I use mono or stereo? Do I process the sound of one of the guitars in one ear? Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks! :roll:

Does a pre-produced on-stage mix still need FOH engineering?
I am in the on-stage engineer for my band and all our live instruments go through an fully automated submixer linked into Abelton Live where they have been optimally mixed for each song.
Request for Mix Comments and some advice
Hey guys, so glad I found this site today. I was hoping some of you would give me your opinions on this recording I did recently for my band.
For me personally I was pretty happy with the results. Sounded good on the monitors, sounded good in the car, sounded good on headphones.

Control Mix with Master Fader or Leave at 0?
Hi everyone . I was just wondering if it's a bad idea to control the mix with the Master Fader in Cubase . I read somewhere that your supposed to always leave it at 0 Db, and mix within those parameters.

Mastering in Mix Mag
The December 06 Issue of MIX magazine has an excellent article & cover story on mastering, entitled: The Final Step: Why Mastering Matters.
It's not online yet (I'll post the link when it it's available) but you can pick it up at any of the usual places (B&N, GC, SA, etc.).
Worth a read, indeed.

Will mix for food...
I need work. Plainly stated. Granted, my studio is not my main bread-winner (and at this point I'm thankful for that), but I'm REALLY out there marketing but I'm not getting any bites. I've invested a ton of capital in my studio, not to mention the time I spend in my control room every night trying different things. At this point, I'm beginning to question the probability of success.
